Why Should I Get Sedation?
Sedation is a great option if you feel anxious about dental procedures. It helps in managing discomfort and nerves, making it easier to get the necessary treatments you deserve. Sedation is also beneficial for longer procedures, as it allows you to remain comfortable throughout the entire process.
Our Sedation Options
Oral Sedation
Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed sedative pill before your appointment. This method is simple and effective for reducing anxiety. You'll be awake but in a relaxed state during the procedure. It's a good option for those with moderate dental anxiety or for longer dental appointments.
Nitrous Oxide
Also known as "laughing gas," nitrous oxide is a mild sedative that's inhaled through a mask placed over your nose. It helps you relax during your dental procedure, and its effects wear off quickly once the mask is removed. This is a good option for patients who want a light sedation option with a quick recovery time.
Local Anesthesia
Local anesthesia is used to numb a specific area of your mouth during procedures. It's commonly used for routine dental work like deep cleanings. This method blocks pain signals at the site of the treatment, ensuring you feel no discomfort while we work on restoring your oral health.
IV Sedation
IV sedation is administered through your vein, allowing it to work quickly and effectively. This type of sedation is ideal for more invasive procedures or for patients with severe dental anxiety. It allows you to remain conscious but in a deeply relaxed state.
